   A couple of command-line tools I’ve recently switched to using:

   - yazi as file manager instead of lf (fast and, for me at least, more intuitive and better handles default editor)

   https://terminaltrove.com/yazi/

   - ouch for compression/decompression from CLI instead of getting the fucking unintuitive flags wrong every fucking time

   https://terminaltrove.com/ouch/

   (Thanks to @orhun for the recent link to Terminal Trove for the new finds.)

     PS. I’m running fish shell, so I also added a couple of abbreviations (I use abbreviations when I don’t want to type out the original command but I also don’t want to forget it):

     abbr --add --global compress 'ouch compress'
     abbr --add --global decompress 'ouch decompress'

     Also note that Yazi has a function to let you switch to the folder you’re in when you exit:

     (I have regular Yazi aliased – in this case an alias makes more sense – to ff and the cd version to cc.)

     @brothersoul Just use it, it’s the best way to learn (and these tools are all available cross-platform so you can use them on a Mac, etc.)

     And if you’re on Windows, you can always dip your toe in using WSL.
